Maybe plastic is not such a bad thing if they come in these yummy colors and funky designs. Welcome to the world of MELISSA.
From what I gathered, Melissa was born in Brazil. It was the original jelly shoes. Fans of this brand say its comfy and light weight, not to mention fashionable too! With its unique shapes and designs.
Famous designers that have collaborated with this brand were Jean Paul Gaultier, Patrick Cox, Stephanie Kelian, Thierry Mugler and J Maskrey. Nowadays, Karim Rashid and Edson Matsuo are the behind the current season.

I know, it's kinda daunting to wear plastic the whole day, but for those of you fashion forward fashionistas (pardon my alliteration...) I'm sure you'd be willing enough to at least try a pair. Yes, we can actually get these shoes here in the Philippines! You can order at www.melissashoes.multiply.com. Just be patient because they have to source it from Australia.
I haven't bought a pair yet but I'm planning to. I remember a couple of years ago I found this jelly sandals in a tiangge in Greenbelt. It was only P500 so I grabbed it and became my favorite pangharabas shoes. It's still alive today and still as comfy as ever! I'm hoping my future Melissa will be as loyal as my other shoe was!

hey girl, parang ,mas mura dito melissa shoes... tried a pair of Indie -- comfy nga, its selling here for about sgd49... with GST, that's still less than 2k! Indie is going for Php2,800 on the multiply site you mentioned...
talaga?! tapos may additional shipping charges pa. i posted this also in another site (www.kikay.exchange.ph) and ang dami na palang familiar sa brand!
The designs are limited though -- am not sure if its out of stock because people bought them na or limited stocks lang talaga. hehe.
But its unbelievably cheaper here that's for sure.
